Photographing endowments in the mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking some of the endowment books in the mosques and photographing them, or photographing part of them, and then returning them to the mosque after obtaining the imam's permission?

Answer:
It is not permissible. Endowment books in a mosque or a school are not to be taken out of their place, nor are they to be photographed, because their owner has not authorized their photographing. If the owner who endowed them specified that photographing or lending them is permissible, then there is no harm.
